Churchill War Rooms were under this structure. This is 10 Downing Street where the Prime Minister lives. During WWII, Churchill did not evacuate to the war rooms right away. He didn't want anyone to think he was scared and he remained on the ground walking among the Londoners during the bombing of London. He stood on top of this building at night watching the bombing. Finally, when a bomb hit inside the courtyard he decided it was time to evacuate to a safe place. The basement of 10 Downing Street became the "war bunker". No one knew until after the war that it was not a safe place only secretive. |
